I was inspired by Melissa to make this scarf after seeing her beautiful FO. It's a Christmas present for my younger sister.
The pattern suggest 10mm needles but I seemed to be knitting too loose so changed to 9mm. I used Sirdar Click chunky with wool (70% acrylic, 30% wool). The colour is a swampy green I suppose(!) shade 0150. I blocked it slightly then found I still needed to press it to stop it rolling at the sides but I'm really pleased with the end result. I've learned kitchener stitch as well so another new thing!
